Respons Planlet Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) terhadap Penambahan berbagai Konsentrasi Thidiazuron (TDZ) dan Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) secara in Vitro

Stevia can be developed by vegetative and generative propagation, while the generative propagation of stevia can be done through seeds. Conventional provision of seeds or seedlings has a low success rate. Propagation via tissue culture is faster, produces more seeds, and is identical to the parent, so the plants’ quality is expected. Plant growth regulator (PGR) often used for tissue culture is type auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins. The function of auxin and cytokinin for division cells, cell elongation, cell differentiation and organ formation. This research aims to get the concentration as well as the best combination for the growth of stevia plants against the administration of thidiazuron (TDZ) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Research carried out by the randomised block design (RBD) factorial pattern consisting of two factors: TDZ and NAA. The first factor is TDZ concentration consisting of three levels: 0 mg.l-1 (T0), 1 mg.l-1 (T1), and 2 mg. l-1 (T2). The second factor is NAA concentration, which consists of three levels: 0 mg.l-1 (N0), 1 mg.l-1 (N1), and 2 mg.l-1 (N1). If there is a difference in data analysis using the F test, then proceed with the BNT level test of 5%. Based on the research results obtained, the influence of TDZ growth regulators and no effect of the concentration of NAA growth regulator on stevia bud multiplication book number. There is an effect of TDZ on plantlet height, leaves, and stevia shoot multiplication nodes.

The purpose of this research is to ascertain how growth regulator concentration and type affect lime shoot cuttings (Citrus aurantifolia) growth. From November 2022 to February 2023, this study was carried out in Dusun III Pandanan Dukuh Biru RT 03/RW 01, Wonosari District, Klaten Regency, Central Java. At an elevation of about 118 meters above sea level, the research site is located. This study employed a CRD (completely randomized design) with two factors, namely three ZPT types at (Z1: extract of onions, Z2: coconut water, and Z3: IBA Chemical Hormones) and growth regulator concentrations (K1: 25%, K2: 50% , K3 : 75%). There were 108 experimental units totaling 36 with four replications and three sample plants each. The percentage of living cuttings, the age at which shoots appeared, the height of shoots, the number of leaves, the number of shoots, and root length were the parameters that were observed. used the One-Way ANOVA test of variance (Test F) at the levels of 5% and 1% to analyze the data. at a level of 5%, continued the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) examination. According to the findings of the research, the treatment of various types of PGR significantly affects the age of shoot emergence, plant height, and number of leaves. ZPT concentration had a significant impact on plant height and root length, but there was no significant interaction between the two in any of the observed parameters.

In vitro propagation of red ginger (Zingiber officinale Roxb. var. Rubrum) in different concentrations of sucrose and growth regulator

In vitro culture of ginger is highly influenced by medium formulations such as sucrose and growth regulator. A micro-propagation was done to determine the influence of sucrose concentration and growth regulator on in vitro growth of red ginger. Sterilized sprouts with shoot tips collected from the rhizome were cultured on formulated media of MS medium containing three diverse concentrations of sucrose and different types and combinations of growth regulators for shoot differentiation. The number of days required for buds to break varies from 13 - 36 according to the sucrose concentration, type, and combinations of growth regulators. Among the formulated medium, the MS medium contained 30 gr of sucrose and BA 1 mg.l-1 induced bud sprouts in about 13-14 days. The sucrose concentration and growth regulator also had significant differences in shoot number, leaf number, and root number. Interaction of BA 1 mg.l-1 and sucrose 30 g.l-1 produced the highest number of shoots per explant (6.33) and the number of leaves per shoot (3.72). Auxin promotes the growth of intact roots as the medium supplemented with NAA yielded a higher number of roots, however, rooting was also observed in all formulated media after two passages of subculturing.

The effects of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and leaf surface orientation on callus induction of black betel (Piper betle L. var. nigra)

Black betel (Piper betle L. var. nigra), which has pharmacological properties against a number of infectious disorders, contains secondary metabolites like alkaloids, terpenoids/steroids, flavonoids, and tannins. While preserving plant availability, callus culture can quickly enhance the production of these secondary metabolites. This study aims to determine the combination of the concentration of growth regulator 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and the optimal position of leaf explants for the induction of black betel callus. This study is an experimental study using a complete randomized design with combinations of treatments between concentrations of 2.4-D growth regulators (0.0 mg/l; 1.5 mg/l; 2.5 mg/l; 3.5 mg/l) and leaf explant position (abaxial contact with media and adaxial contact with media). Quantitative data obtained were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test on the SPSS program. Meanwhile, qualitative data in callus morphology were analyzed descriptively. The treatment of 1.5 mg/l 2,4-D using abaxial leaf position can be chosen as optimal combination of treatment. The results showed no significant difference (P>0.05) for many of the observed variables between this treatment compared to treatment with higher concentration of 2,4-D. MS media with 1.5 mg/l 2,4-D and abaxial leaf position can induce callus at 2.4 weeks after planting, caused 100 % percentage of explants forming callus, browning score of 2.1, 10% explant contamination, callus growth score of 2.6 and callus morphology in the form of yellowish-white callus color and compact callus texture.

Modification of media compositions for micropropagation of Acorus calamus L.

Modification of medium composition is a critical step in tissue culture to find out the best medium formulation for micropropagation. Furthermore, reduction of some nutrients as well as sugar and plant growth regulator concentrations are an effort often done to make the production of seedlings more economic. The aim of the study was to modify media composition by reduction of macronutrients and sugar concentrations in combination with BAP for micropropagation of Acorus calamus. Experiments of Calamus micropropagation was established by culturing single shoots to MS medium with 100, 50, 33.3 and 25% macronutrients added with sugar at 30, 20, and 10 g/l in combination with 0, 0.5, and 1 mg/l BAP. Each medium treatment had nine replicates. Growth of culture was determined every week until 6 weeks of culture. Growth variable recorded was shoots numbers, leaf length, leaf numbers and root numbers. At six weeks of culture, chlorophyll content was also observed. The results showed that reduction of macronutrients and sugar did not influence shoot and leaf numbers in MS medium but required 0.5-1 mg/l BAP. Rooting is best in medium with no addition of BAP. Chlorophyll content decreased in the medium containing BAP in all reduced macronutrients and sugar concentrations. All plantlets survived in the field. Reduction of macronutrients and sugar can be applied for Calamus shoot culture. Cytokinin BAP is critical for shoot growth but this could be omitted for rooting. Therefore, this finding offered more choices in micropropagation of Calamus with low-cost production.

Optimization of Hormonal Compositions of Media in In Vitro Propagation of Orange Cultivars from Shoot Tip Nodal Segments

Orange is one of the most horticulturally important and widely cultivated Citrus species. Citrus cultivar improvement via conventional breeding strategies is normally impeded by factors related to its reproductive biology. The present study was undertaken to investigate the optimization of growth regulators’ composition of media in in vitro propagation of orange cultivar from nodal segment explants. The nodal segment explants were collected from sweet orange cultivars. The MS medium supplemented with sucrose and different concentrations of growth regulators were used for shoot proliferation and root induction. The optimum compositions of growth regulators in MS medium were assessed. The result indicated that the highest shoot response was recorded for Washington naval orange with maximum shoot proliferation rate (99.75%), shoot number per explant (3.10), shoot length (10.70 cm), leaf number per explants (12.50) after three weeks of culture. In all experiments, no growth was observed for the basal MS medium. Phytohormones combinations of indole-3-acetic acid, IAA (1.2 mg/L), and kinetin (2.0 mg/L) were found to be the best for shoot proliferation. Among the cultivars, significantly, the highest rooting rate (81.25%), root number (4.95), and root length (2.95 cm) were recorded for Washington naval orange cultivar. The least rooting rate (48.45%), root number (3.55), and root length (2.26 cm) were observed from the Valencia cultivar. Significantly, the highest rooting rate (84.90%), root number per microshoot (5.20), and root length (3.05 cm) for MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). The comparison of different concentrations of IAA and NAA on root induction of microshoots from nodal segments of sweet orange cultivars demonstrated NAA as the more effective hormone than IAA.

Recent advances in application and progress of advanced materials as adsorbents in sample preparation for plant growth regulators.

Plant growth regulators are a class of physiologically active substances that could modify or regulate basic physiological processes in the plant and defense against abiotic and biotic stresses, including natural plant growth regulators and synthetic ones. Different from natural plant growth regulators with low content and high cost of extraction in plants, synthetic ones can be produced in large-scale production and widely used in agriculture for increasing and securing yield and quality of the harvested produce. However, like pesticides, the abuse of plant growth regulators will have negative impacts on human beings. Therefore, it is important to monitor plant growth regulators residues. Due to the low concentration of plant growth regulators and complex matrices of food, it is necessary to isolate and extract plant growth regulators by appropriate adsorbents in sample preparation for obtaining satisfactory results. In the last decade, several advanced materials as adsorbents have shown superiority in sample preparation. This review briefly introduces the recent application and progress of advanced materials as adsorbents in sample preparation for extraction of plant growth regulators from the complex matrix. In the end, the challenge and outlook about the extraction of plant growth regulators of these advanced adsorbents in sample preparation are presented.

Factors affecting in vitro tuberization of potato

BackgroundPotato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most economically important annual vegetable crops. Microtubers can be produced, stored around year and directly transported to market without transferring to fresh media and without acclimatization. Thus reducing the field cycle to obtain sufficient number of seed potatoes and a high level of healthy materials. The aim of this study was to investigate effects of different combinations and concentrations of growth regulators i.e., kinetin (2.5 mg/l) and coumarin (20, 40 and 60 mg/l) alone or in addition to varied concentrations of sucrose (30, 60 and 90 g/l) on in vitro tuberization of potato (Solanum tuberosum) cv. Diamount.ResultsThe plantlets were propagated using single-node cuttings cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0.04 mg/l kinetin and 1.0 mg/l IAA. Shoots (6–7 nodes) from the previous step were cultured into medium supplemented with a factorial combination of sucrose concentrations (30, 60 and 90 g/l), coumarin concentrations (0, 20, 40, and 60 mg/l) and two concentrations of kinetin (0 and 2.5 mg/l). Our results showed that kinetin – induced medium have slightly effect to improve tuberization in vitro. But when kinetin was combined with sucrose, this effect was better when raised sucrose concentration from 30 or 60 to 90 g/l. The highest percentage of tuberization after 8 weeks, highest number of microtuber were obtained with high concentration of sucrose (90 g/l) together with dark condition, at 18–20 °C. Also, the highest concentration of sucrose significantly increased the fresh weight of microtuber. In case of coumarin, results revealed that it has important effect on tuber initiation especially with concentrations 20 mg/l and 40 mg/l; otherwise, the initiation period was minimized after adding kinetin. So, the plantlets must be continuously incubated in coumarin –induce medium plus kinetin for 8 weeks to affect the tuberization response. Also, all the other characters of tuberization process on coumarin-inducing medium could be improved by increasing sucrose concentration to 9 g/l.ConclusionsGenerally, results pointed out that the treatment which consists of kinetin (2.5 mg/l) plus 90 g/l sucrose and 20 mg/l coumarin has the best characteristics of in vitro micro-tuberization.

Níveis de fertilização NPK e efeito de concentrações de regulador de crescimento na produtividade da batata-doce

ABSTRACT The low mean yield of sweet potato crops in Brazil is related to several inadequate crop management practices. Considering the increasing production of this vegetable, the objective of this work was to evaluate the yield response of sweet potato crops subjected to different NPK fertilizer rates (NPK) combined with different growth regulator concentrations. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, with a 5×5 factorial arrangement consisted of 5 NPK fertilizer rates (0, 696, 1044, 1392, and 1740 kg ha-1) combined with 5 growth regulator concentrations (0, 20, 25, 30, and 35 mL L-1). Numbers of total and commercial roots per plant were affected by the factors tested, presenting a linear increase as the rates and concentrations were increased. The highest estimated sweet potato yield was 43 Mg ha -1, which was obtained using a NPK rate of 1522.64 kg ha-1 and a growth regulator concentration of 34.69 mL L-1. The higher NPK rates improved water use efficiency up to a maximum value of 8.1 kg m-3 with application of the NPK rate of 1740 kg ha-1. After determining a fixed yield level, the production factors tested act as imperfect substitutes in some intervals of variation of the inputs.

Exploration of plant growth promoting traits and regulatory mechanisms of Bacillus anthracis PM21 in enhancing salt stress tolerance in maize.

Bacillus species have been reported to reduce the negative effects of salt stress on plants; the involvement of Bacillus anthracis PM21 and the internal mechanisms involved in this process are unclear. The effects of PM21 inoculation on maize plants under salt stress were investigated in this study. The study aimed to assess the ability of Bacillus anthracis PM21 to endure high levels of salinity stress while preserving the concentration of plant growth regulators. The biomass, photosynthetic pigments, relative water content (RWC), antioxidants, osmoprotectants, inorganic ion contents, regulation of plant hormones and expression of antioxidants enzyme encoded genes were investigated under normal and salinity stress conditions. Bacillus anthracis PM21 produced a significant amount of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase enzyme (ACC deaminase) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) under salt stress and normal conditions. PM21 also produced plant growth stimulants including indole acetic acid, gibberellic acid (GA3), kinetin, and siderophore under salinity stress and normal conditions. Under salt stress, PM21 inoculation markedly increased plant growth indices, stimulate antioxidant enzyme mechanisms, osmoprotectants, and chlorophyll content. The use of qRT-PCR to analyze the transcription of targeted genes indicated greater expression of antioxidant-encoded genes and inferred their possible function in salinity stress tolerance. Our findings shed light on the functions of PM21 and its regulatory mechanisms in plant salt stress tolerance, as well as the importance of PM21 in this process. This study will provide a thorough analysis of the theoretical framework for adopting PM21 in agricultural production as an eco-friendly method to enhance crop growth and yield under salinity stress.
